This year we had a reunion for the Ferlin Hunt family in Mesquite, Nevada. I really do love family reunions! I love having an excuse to get together and see everyone.
As I did with the Mathews Reunion last August, I put together a little family history booklet. My mom and grandma kept thanking me for taking the time to put it together but, while it did take a lot of time, I told them it was a privilege to do it. I love learning about my ancestors and feeling that connection to them. There's a scripture in Deuteronomy that essentially says 'we drink from wells we did not dig.' I think about that a lot, especially when I'm looking at family history. We are the beneficiaries of their lives and we need to look to the future as well and think about what kind of 'well' we can 'dig' for those who follow us.

My dad's cousin, Claudia, and her husband Ben were nice enough to let us stay with them AND let us ask the Easter Bunny to bring eggs and gifts to their house ☺
They restored this awesome car and showed us all the ins and outs.
It looks like the Easter bunny came!
Looking for eggs...
Ben and Claudia even came down for the hunt!

On the way home we took a detour to GG and great-grandpa Hunt's house for breakfast.
Those are some really cute faces if you're asking me!
Uncle Andy brought out his vintage Star Wars toys and the boys loved them!
Nolan's favorite (of course) was the Darth Vader. Apparently the light saber broke off so Andy at some point put a red toothpick in it and it was still there haha.

On the way home we stopped at Gm and Gp Bailey's house for an Easter egg hunt!
Here's the crew ready to begin the hunt!
I tell you what, they know how to do an Easter egg hunt right! And they were so generous to supply eggs for not just our boys, but their cousins too! All of the boys had the time of their lives looking searching for the eggs. They are at the absolute perfect age for these kinds of things and I love it!!
At one point Nolan said, with a serious look on his face, "I'll never give anyone my Easter eggs." When I asked why he just said, "BECAUSE!" and ran off to find more haha.
With their loot!
It was so fun and special (and rare) to get to spend a holiday with BOTH families and we loved every minute of it ♥
